Will acrylic be added back in override accent?

[ImSwordQueen]

I've noticed that acrylic was removed as an option to override in 2.0. Will it ever come back or is it gone for good?

My current plan is to phase out the accent overrider, with the feature marked as deprecated in the next release, and eventually removed entirely in a future release. As compensation, OpenGlass built in a fix for the acrylic mouse dragging lag issue starting in v2.

Existing applications of accent can all be completely replaced with a manual call to DwmEnableBlurBehind, so I don't see the need to continue to maintain this feature, not to mention the potential compatibility issues it can cause.

I think keeping it as an unsupported without warranty optional feature would be nice. Some modifications (As an example StartIsBack++ but also ExplorerPatcher's Reimplemented taskbar) cannot be modified normally to make them use DwmEnableBlurBehind and instead rely on acrylic (The latter being for ep_taskbar more).

In fact a windhawk mod completely solves that problem you're talking about by hooking up SetWindowCompositionAttribute and DwmpUpdateAccentBlurRect. Accent itself can greatly impact performance, and OpenGlass can't completely eliminate it.

Ohhh gotcha! Thank you!
